Busy times

Sometimes I can’t believe I’m having a baby in 4 months. I know it seems like a long time but between now and then we are still going to Brazil and a few weeks later to Azores, we are re-doing two of our bathrooms and my husband is donating a kidney.
So even though 4 months may seem like a long time this is sure going to be one exciting and busy time in our lives. I’m afraid in the middle of all this I won’t be able to take the time to actually enjoy this pregnancy and to enjoy the time I have left to be all alone with R. And I have to prepare her for the baby.

I always say my life will be more calm from now on, I will stop trying to do a thousand things at the same time, I will quit one of the Couples Group (yes, we have two), I will no longer have friends over for dinner every week. But then stuff always shows up and we can’t say no (like the group of couples preparing for marriage that we agreed on orienting next year, because our priest had no one else to do it). With one child we have been able to juggle everything but how will it be with 2?

We really need to take some time for ourselves to rethink our life.
